摘要：
When a financial portfolio is rebalanced under market conditions to
satisfy leverage and other restrictions, asset illiquidity adversely-impacts
trading prices, and hence, the portfolio's performance. Using a continuous-time
trading model, we study the Pareto-efficiency between risk-adjusted return,
leverage, and target return. We show analytically that the Sharpe-maximizing
unlevered portfolio is no longer a tangency portfolio, and
proportionate-leveraging is not an optimal strategy under liquidity risk. As
target return increases, the required minimum portfolio-leverage increases at
an increasing-rate, while the Sharpe-Leverage frontiers are
progressively-dominated. These results contrast with the classical portfolio
theory that assumes no liquidity risk, and our empirical analysis using ETF
asset-data verifies that ignoring liquidity impact may lead to severe portfolio
under-performance.
If time permits, I will also consider a specific situation involving only
de-leveraging, where the model is simplified to maximize portfolio’s expected
value under leverage and margin limits. This leads to a separable model, but it
is extremely difficult to solve due to non-convexity. I will present a new and
general dual cutting plane technique that solves the Lagrangian dual
more-efficiently. The sensitivities of the optimal deleveraging strategy to
leverage and margin limits will be discussed in the context of the above data
set.
當調整投資組合以滿足杠桿和其他限制時，資產流動性對交易價格會產生不利影響，進而影響投資組合的表現。運用連續時間的交易模型，我們研究風險調整收益率、杠桿率和目標收益率之間的帕累托效率。我們的解析結果表明，夏普率最大化的無杠桿投資組合不再是切向投資組合，在流動性風險下按比例加杠桿也不再是最優策略。隨著目標收益的增加，所需的最低投資組合杠桿率以遞增的速度增長，而夏普杠桿前沿逐漸被主導。這些結果與忽略流動性風險的經典的投資組合理論不同，并且我們基于ETF資產數據的實證分析證實忽略資產流動性會嚴重影響投資組合表現。
如果時間允許，我還會考慮一個特定的情況，只涉及去杠桿化，其中模型被簡化以最大化投資組合在杠桿率和保證金限制下的預期價值。這導致了一個可分離的模型，但是由于其非凸性，求解非常困難。我將提出一個新的一般的雙切割平面技術，更有效地解決拉格朗日對偶問題并討論最佳去杠桿化策略對杠桿率和保證金限制的敏感性。
